It's a wonderful morning here in the Capital City of Nigeria. It's drizzling though, makes it a tiny bit dull. Forget all that. We are sitting at the summit of the EPL this morning, with no one having a game in hand. So, From a first day in office that was dreadful to having a squad, though affected so much by injuries, yet, the renaissance of resonance (if you will) in the team has been unbelievable. 7 straight wins. We've been scoring double numbers of goals, bar the Sp*rs match.
Mesut Ozil made his home Debut yesterday and had a game to remember. He directly assisted two goals from corners and the 3rd was scored from the rebound of his free kick. So, 2 EPL appearances 3 assists and that is no coincidence according to the gaffer.
When you look at Özil’s numbers, the assists are not a coincidence – it is a reality of his game. When you play against Stoke you don’t expect to score three goals from set pieces but it shows how important his delivery is, and I believe once he has completely integrated you will see even more. He has shown today that he is a great player"
And that is well said. Stoke under Tony Pulis were a very stubborn "anti-football" team. They let you play, park the bus and take advantage of set pieces and long throws. Yesterday, the did more of the football while we did the scoring and from set pieces.
Next Match is on Wednesday, we play WBA in the Capital One Cup. I'm sure most of the players will be rested and the Captain and Vice - Captain that have just returned from Injury should use this game to get fit.
Credit again to Aaron Ramsey. He's becoming the revelation of the season. He has now scored 7 goals in 7 games since the defeat to Villa. Who would've thought he'd be our highest goal scorer at any point of the season. No one, maybe Wenger.
Till Tomorrow. Have a wonderful week ahead.
